NCAAB: Thursday's 10 p.m. ET play

Play: UC Santa Barbara -3 -110

Time: 10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: This is a great matchup for the Gauchos. UC Riverside plays horrific perimeter defense (41.4% overall, 42.3% at home, 44.9% last five games) and three-pointers are Santa Barbara's strong point (37.0% overall, 38.5% last five). The Gauchos have played the tougher schedule and won by eight in the first meeting of 2014-15. Had the Highlanders not made 11 threes -- twice their average -- in that contest on Jan. 22, the final margin would have been higher. Santa Barbara has the better assist-to-turnover ratio, is better on the glass and it's better at the line (72.2% overall, 76.5% last five).
